BLOW UP summer wrap up


Click to see the scionify.com photos

Hello all!! This summer has been phenomenal. We all had a blast with the all star line ups for the Summer Concert Series. Blow Up SF couldn’t have better people to party with. Just when they thought we were done, we came back with the sickest artists to rock the party! So here’s to our Summer of 2010…

June 12th -

Le Castle Vania came to fuck shit up as usual. After such a successful reunion, LCV was the perfect guy to have for our next party. His explosive sets always make the crowd go nuts. And that’s exactly what happened the moment LCV stepped up and got on the mic and yelled, “What the fuck is up San Francisco!!” Followed by the incredibly hard track, the screams and cheers fill the room, and the hands fly up! (that moment is still embedded in my head) – It was really the perfect way to kick off the summer…


And it was only appropriate for a victory crowd surf.

July 10th -

A very VERY special night for Blow Up. On this night we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. This was a celebration for the party that we’re all so obsessed about. Five years of sweaty bodies dancing, wild and tenacious acts, love making, and all the debauchery. It was a celebration for Blow Up SF…something that has always been more than just a club/party. It’s that occasion where everyone leaves with their own little dirty secrets and stories to tell. As you can see, all the lovely party people found a sexy way to celebrate.

So this night turned out just as expected: spectacular. Dj Skeet Skeet and Rony’s Photobooth came out to show some love and made the night extra special. Relive the magic here:

August 7th -

We all got a little surprise with the Stones Throw x Fool’s Gold crew, and let me just say it was out of this world. The Discotheque outside by the bay was magical! From the start of the night, with the opening deejays, everyone was getting down. By the midpoint of the night the aura was incredible. With the Blow Up DJs upstairs, Mayer Hawthorne and friends outside, there was no escaping the music. There’s no way you didn’t dance, it was like a boogie wonderland!

With A-Trak and friends making us step, Jeffrey Paradise was stealing the show upstairs. The mainroom was packed! Jeffrey spun for just about 3 hours this night, and he had us wylin’ out the entire time…

August 14th -

Just a week after the huge event with A-Trak we had another big night ahead. It was the night everyone had been waiting for and all the hype was set in. Steve Aoki came and spun a killer set for us! Girls were asking Steve to marry them, getting him to sign their chest and what not. I was convinced that everyone was drunk off their asses or on something else because we were all out of our minds!!


I mean you gotta expect a party to go off if Steve was asking for a pool raft at a club…(It was a bitch blowing that up by the way!) But regardless it was a fun and humorous time trying to find friends help blow it up. And even though it ended up in the bay, I’m glad it came to good use….I still wonder how it ended up in the water??


Seriously, there was just so much going I can’t even cover it all…or can’t remember. Anyway, from crowd surfing on a raft to champagne showers (lemme hear you say ahh), we had a great fucking time!! Every where you went there were people going crazy. After Steve’s set I walked outside and looked down to find a sea of people jumping and a couple friends letting loose on top of the deejay booth.


It was definitely a great way to end our summer with a bang. It was out of this world! Much love to Jeffrey and Ava for making it happen, all the amazing artists coming out to join, and thanks to all of us party people for keeping the love going at all the parties! Clap clap, bravo.

Keep posted for more info on our next wild night out! See you soon!!

your friend

Ricky Reed of Wallpaper. dj set


This is exactly what we’ve been needing to kick off this Summer off right: a dj set by Wallpaper’s frontman, Ricky Reed! Straight out of North Oakland California, he’s doing it real big, with funky beats and synthed out vocals that no one can resist getting down to. Their sound is likened to the musical stylings of Hey Champ!, Chromeo, and even hints of Justice, but don’t let that fool you. Wallpaper’s sounds are fresher than produce. With hits like “T-REX” and “I Got Soul, I’m So Wasted”, I’m sure we’ll be hearing many, many great things from them this Summer and beyond!

Wallpaper has been pushing out beats since 2005, when existentialist, Eric Frederic, was only utilizing the band as a way to satarize mainstream pop and consumer culture, but luckily for us, he ended up embracing the project and now has 3 Eps, remixes for Passion Pit and Das Racist, a full length album Doodoo Face and some epic live performances under his belt, Wallpaper’s really starting to make a name for itself.

Some of their diverse influences include: Afrobeat, P-Funk, and the panoply of Bay Area rap. These influences become most noticeable in the heavy bass breakdowns of “Celebrity”, and in the minimalist pop of “Fine GF.” and are always featured in his DJ sets.

Wallpaper’s musical styling leaves much up to perception of the listener (dancer). It’s really up to you to decide what to make of it, but with their high voltage guitar rifts, blissed out melodic auto-tuned vocals, and heavy booty shakin’ basslines it’s safe to say we’ll all be dancing and singing the night away.

Speaking for myself, I’m absolutely sold on Wallpaper, and can’t wait to see what this electro-funk master has in store for us behind the turntables. Needless to say, I am so, so excited for the long awaited revival of Blow Up! With all the beautiful faces and fresh beats, this Summer is gonna kick so much ass! Let’s Dance!

Yay Yay,

Voted the best electronic music dj and producer in Finland back to back in 2006 and 2007 he has been on a terror ever since… so we know the bartenders won’t be the only ones mixing something special for us… Rico is gunna mix up something fierce and get us all completely fucked up!

Rico will serve us a special serving of his now famous “Ricos Rave Juice.” ingredients include uk garage bass-lines, hip hop samples, cracking snares, baltimore breaks, fidget house, indie dance/electro, & dubstep… I hope my heart can take it!

Rico’s famous for his heavy tracks (mainly the killer tune ‘gangsters’) and received huge support from all the major players in bass-heavy music and beyond like switch, sinden, drop the lime, and crookers.
